Character Outline
Acting as the primary antagonist for the first season, and a secondary for the second, Lord Fear is portrayed as being the arch nemesis to the show's protagonist, Ace Lightning. A 352-year old skeletal mastermind and villain, Lord Fear leads a small band of villains, their homebase located within the gloomy Carnival of Doom. Lord Fear's aim is to conquer all dimensions by gaining the powers of the Amulet of Zoar, but after a battle between him and Ace Lightning, the Amulet was shattered and opened a portal to Earth, where the events of the series take place. Lord Fear is not without his weaknesses, crippled with a limp in his right leg which he gained after being accidentally injured by Ace. Lord Fear holds a personal grudge against Ace for this, as well as previously imprisoning him in the Sixth Dimension. Lord Fear battles with Staff Head, a winged frog creature perched on a staff who can fire energy blasts. Lord Fear is very wise and intelligent, but has very little knowledge of Earth's cultures.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or outline:
“Modern thought has transferred the spectral character of Death to the notion of time itself. Time has become Death triumphant over all.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“A true poem is distinguished not so much by a felicitous expression, or any thought it suggests, as by the atmosphere which surrounds it. Most have beauty of outline merely, and are striking as the form and bearing of a stranger; but true verses come toward us indistinctly, as the very breath of all friendliness, and envelop us in their spirit and fragrance.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
